Can Keynote import multiple audio files onto one slide?

Of course it is!!
First! Click on media button inside keynote. go to music and itunes and drag all the files you want, onto the slide. Anywhere. Doesn't matter.

Now you can close the media finder, and open the inspector. I think the second or third tab over is a yellow diamond which is the build tab.

Hit the open drawer on the bottom of that window and it will show you all of the actions of the slide. There is a box that should be unchecked on that window. Now when you select each audio track, go to the drop down window on the bottom of the drawer and it will say start after previous build. Or you can highlight them and select "start after previous build".

I don't have it in front of me but I tried to be as accurate as possible. If you have any other questions, go ahead and ask and I will answer!

Um.. try just going to the help menu. Look for info on the Build function. You could also try going to this website. http://www.apple.com/iwork/tutorials/#keynote

Sorry I couldn't explain better the first time!

Thanks, worked just as described.

Now, how do I get that audio to play beyond one slide? I have mine starting on slide 2 and want it to continue thruout rest of presentation. I only know how to do so on Audio tab when it starts on first slide - that is now not an option as far as I can tell. Thanks in advance

It seems that no matter how I set the build the songs all play at the same time. How can I get multiple songs to play in a single slide. Like an playlist that plays one song right after another until i proceed to the next slide.

Keynote won't play audio through a subset of slides in a presentation. The best workaround is to create a separate presentation containing the slides you want to have audio, set the whole presentation soundtrack in the Document Inspector, and then hyperlink this presentation to the earlier slides.

I ended up using my Moto DROID to push my music. It looped a playlist and I controlled the fade on that, while controlling keynote slide audio on my macbook with the apple remote. It may sound confusing but it felt natural and timing was on. I also had a timer running on the DROID to see where I was, as far as timing goes, during the presentation. I personally don't like to use the 'presenter screen' so this worked out very well for me.

I just built my first Keynote presentation and used multiple vocal clips I recorded in Gargeband and saved as MP3 clips.

The shortcut to add them to the slide is Shift-Command-V (i.e., Choose...) then add a file. Sequence them to play using the inspectors animation button (yellow diamond, click "More Options" at bottom to open animation drawer. Click on the "speaker" icons on the slide that represent the clips (songs), and choose the only effect that is offered, "Start Audio". Leave it's time delay to zero, so it starts immediately after the last animation (or after slide transition if it is the first item in the animation drawer. Click the second song you want to play, and set it to Automatically After Build N. Then set its start delay to the time of the first song plus a few seconds. You will have to play with the second song (clip) delay to get it to start at the right time after the first one. You can do this indefinitely. Unfortunately Keynote does not understand the time of a song (clip) so you have to time them manually like this.

Hope this helps.
